    • Mr M. ★★★★★ "Had an amazing day at Sanda Kiyarimi Zoo Park! The variety of animals and the beautiful landscaping made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend visiting for a fun family outing!"
    • Elias D. ★★★★ Awesome park, it was a thrill to see the many animals —some, my first— the zoo keeps. I'm not a medic or vet though, but I think the baboons need some medical attention. Also, that elephant needs the company of other elephants, please! Even if just one other.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thumbs up though, you should definitely visit. PS: Under the shade of the trees, don't look up! 🦇
